SAM TOTHILL

Education. B.S., Nanjing University, China (2000); M.S., Fudan University, China (2003); Ph.D., Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio (2008); and Postdoctoral Associate, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Laboratory of Professor Nancy Allbritton. Nonscientific Interests. Traveling and reading. Our lab is working on the development of new electroanalytical methods and setups to simplify single cell analysis, while providing more chemical information on cellular activity for the elucidation of cellular heterogeneity. The philosophy of our research is to create femtoliter−attoliter electrochemical cells so that all the well-developed electrochemical measurements could be adapted for the analysis of single cells, and even single organelles. Currently, single cell kits and tip kits have been successfully developed to electrochemically quantify the protein activity at single cells and single lysosomes.

Current Position. Professor of Bio-Nano Sensors, School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing, Cranfield University, Cranfield, England, United Kingdom. Education. B.S. (Hons), M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Analytical Biochemistry (1987), Cranfield University. Nonscientific Interests. Walking, reading, and traveling. My research interests are in the field of analytical biochemistry and sensor technology, focusing on the design and development of highly specific advanced diagnostics and bioelectronic “biosensors” and the interface between inorganic transducer surfaces and biological/biomimic species. The research covers a wide area within the diagnostics theme from providing solutions for bio and affinity sensing and interfacing with nanotechnology for the development of highly novel sensing devices and point-of-care diagnostics with emphases on disease biomarkers, toxins, and infectious microorganisms.

Current Position. Fay R. and Eugene L. Langberg Professor of Physics, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pennsylvania. Education. A.B. in Physics and Mathematics, Harvard University; M.Phil. in Physics, University of Cambridge, UK; and A.M. and Ph.D. in Physics, Harvard University, Massachusetts. Nonscientific Interests. Yoga, ballet, and learning. Research in my lab focuses on the exploration of mesoscopic and nanoscale structures in the areas of experimental condensed matter physics, nanoscience, and nanotechnology. The group is known for our studies of fundamental physical properties of lowdimensional and small-scale structures and the development of their device applications; examples include the study and control of nanocrystal assembly, fabrication of electronic devices and understanding of the basic mechanisms of charge transport in them. My lab has also developed new biophysics-oriented approaches toward the detection and analysis of biomolecules

ACS Sensors

Introducing Our Authors

My research is focused on molecular imaging, disease diagnostics, and therapy. We are currently developing DNA-templated nanoparticle sensors (quantum dots, gold nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles) for detecting disease-relevant biomarkers in living cells with high sensitivity and accuracy. These sensors could be applied to intelligent sensing and catalytic sensing of various intracellular nucleic acids such as mRNA and miRNA molecules. Additionally, we are also developing intelligent theranostic probes for personalized medicine. (Read Ma’s article; DOI: 10.1021/acssensors.7b00922).
